Nice old Waggy!!
If you need parts for it I have found a good source.

They have everything from the smallest parts to entire vehicles.
Parting with the FC had to be traumatic
In my ever so humble opinion, I will say the 292 is by far the best I6 ever made with the Ford 300 a fairly close second.
I swapped a 292/sm465/205 into a '98 Jeep Cherokee . You about had to reach into the back seat to shift
They usually went to medium duty GMC trucks.
This guy has two that were tankers built for the military. They would be great for an overland build

Not if it is driven right and has carb made for off roading. Like the Holley truck avenger or if you're as old as I am, you can modify almost any carb to work well off road.
My '01 K2500 8.1 Suburban 220,000 miles on it now. It's just me and my dog when we head out for photography trips. I like not having to pull a trailer or have to mess with a tent on the roof or on the ground.
What one thing that is a must have for you that most folks probably wouldn't think to bring?
For me it is my Vitamix blender because I can no longer swallow food so I have to juice or puree everything I eat.
It is a major PITA but I'm alive to complain about it, so it's a good trade off
